How much space is there under the 2nd row captains? Might just throw a powered sub under there while JL works on their stealth box.

I don’t take delivery for another 4 weeks or so so I can’t just go look.

Dude you ever go with the JL powered subs under the rear captains? If so how did it turn out!

Morning all, late posting this, but I completed this upgrade a few months back; all I can say is wow! The system came to life, and it is a night and day difference. I settled on an audio control amp ACM 1300 AMP and used the high-level input from the factory sub, and installed a JL bass wedge The local shops told me it might not have enough signal from the factory high level to work, but I reached out to audio control, and they were confident in their product. I was contemplating a JL amp with more power, but when I spoke to them, they weren't as confident and the audio control has a built-in Accubass. There is bass roll-off on the factory unit, so the louder you turn up the volume the lower the bass gets. If you planning this with a different amp with more power or more subs, I would suggest you use the audio control LC2i to increase the line output but, more importantly, give you acubass. LC2i

I was surprised by how little information there was and how the local shops were not willing to touch it.

I got a deal on the 10 Jl wedge, which I don't believe they make anymore, JL knows their stuff and I highly recommend going with a pre-made JL product. The hardest part was running the 8 gauge power line through the firewall; take caution there but not impossible. There is more than enough bass here to hit hard or play clean; up to you! If you are looking for sound quality, this integrates very well and can be adjusted to pound hard and shake. You could go with more power and a single or twin 12 if you were a bass *****, but the sound quality is matched with this 10 in the cab, don't let the low power amp fool you; these are full RMS and professional quality - any more is just for the people looking at you across the street, it depends on how much you want to show off if I was 20 I might go with 12s and 1000 watts.

As far as the rest of the bose system, and I hate to say it as I am not a BOSE fan, it sounds amazing. There are NO other upgrades required, nor should they be considered IMHO. I don't think you could improve on this system unless you spent 10-15k on ultra high-end separates.
